The management of MLJ Marine Oil & Gas Limited has disclosed why the company embarked on the award of scholarship to indigent students in Nigeria.
The company on its social media page said it was touched by the desire of the less privileged in the environment to aspiring for higher studies.
“We have trained several persons who are less privileged over the years, who desire to return to school but have a challenge for sponsorship.
“We have assisted them and today, some are graduates.
“We have extended the gesture to others, through an open award of scholarship to verified indigent persons.
“It’s been eight years now, and we have not relented in doing our best for people.
“This is our little way of giving back to the society.
“There are thousands of people that are in dire need of help, so as a company, we’ll always do our best to better their lot,” it said.
